Transitway is essentially a "bus only" roadway. Ottawa is a great example of this. BRTs can use a transitway where there is no congestion from private vehicles; however, they are not required to do this. A BRT is mainly a bus which has minimal stops and additional capacity. This makes it more "rapid" when compared to a typical bus route. Transitways can be used to secure the right of way in advance of building an LRT route.
